A Quote by Kalan Sherrard
From my earliest youth I've been riddled with angst about the homogeneity of the world and have tried to do things to break it: attacking abercrombie & fitch in the mall with a plunger, posting strange statues made of garbage around my town, different kinds of interventions, parades and experiments. I've always cared a lot about difference.

Then he'd end up in the next town over where the rules were totally different. And I love this stuff.
